[QUOTE="Taffelaide, post: 936852, member: 79541"] We have literally chosen the path you are spruiking and its gone to rat ****. Hence this thread. Those defending the regions in a thread about how its not working are really trying. I don't know if keeping clubs and letting them build (like the football where Cardiff, Swansea and Newport have found their places) would have worked. What we DO know is that the regions haven't. 4 traditional clubs boosted would have eventually absorbed those around them AND retained the History of the clubs. The region franchises got rid of the good and kept the bad. Cardiff RFC would have garnered more Valleys support eventually than Cardiff Blues, similar with Newport and Swansea or Neath. And those thinking lumping another soulless franchise in North Wales is the answer are even stranger. [/QUOTE]
